    I don’t know if you guys get notified on this post, but after a couple days of practicing I gave the song Satellite by Harry Styles a go. According to the singing app I’ve been using to learn it’s my best one so far— anyone have any thoughts or feedback on it? >_< (I know it’s only been a few days, but I want to make sure I’m headed in the right direction haha)

    Tks in advance!

    Haha yeah that seems to be the recurring theme- breath control.
    I think I’m gaining more confidence over these past couple days about being heard and singing freely so I appreciate all the comments encouraging the singing and not to be too self-conscious about it.
    I’ll try to give that song a go one day! Thank you for the suggestion :)

    Hmm, okay noted. I'll hopefully gain more confidence over time to sing out a bit more without (hopefully) straining my voice too much

    Haha, okay I will remember to breathe! Thank you for the feedback and the imagery of singing out to knock a paper plate off a windowsill is very helpful. I'll keep working on that breath support...

    Haha, okay I will remember to breathe! Thank you for the feedback and the imagery of singing out to knock a paper plate off a windowsill is very helpful. I'll keep working on that breath support though. That seems to be one that's been brought up multiple times.
    Awe thank you! That means a lot; who knows, maybe I'll post updates along the way and see how my singing progresses >_<

    Thanks for the suggestions! I think it's a mixture of confidence and not wanting to be too loud (I'm in an apartment complex) that I sing quietly haha, I'll work on that.

    Okay noted, I'll try to listen a bit closer and work on matching what I'm hearing.

    Haha yeah exactly! I'm not aiming to be a hit popstar or anything, just want to be able to sing along better to what I'm listening to, but it's definitely a lot to keep in mind while singing! At least this way, if I want to practice more intentionally I've now learned a few things that will help me develop my voice :)

    Thank you for the feedback!

    That's a great idea that hasn't crossed my mind, I'll look into finding the songs without the original vocals.

    Unfortunately, right now I don't have the budget for a teacher, but maybe over time I'll look into one

    What's it mean to play A440 standard pitches in your vocal range? Sorry, my musical knowledge is limited and I couldn't quite find an answer through Google. All I found was that 440 Hz is a frequency that a standardized pitch correlates to. My understanding is to play the 440 Hz pitch and try to match it using my voice?

    Good point! I definitely could get caught up in the technical aspects and forget to simply enjoy singing to songs that I like. For right now, The Night We Met is a song I enjoy singing along to. It just happens to be comfortably within my vocal range and has aspects where I can practice and develop parts of my voice :)

    Sounds good, thank you! Yeah I didn't do band and/or choir aside from what was mandatory throughout elementary school so it's very much outside of my knowledge base on what I should be working on. Though I am noticing a pattern on the importance of breathing/breath support in terms of feedback

    I was sitting in the BandLab recording, but I tried a bit of breathing exercises and stood up in the YouTube video recording (not sure if a difference can be heard though haha)

    It’s not the same, but here’s a video I took of me singing it again. The beginning is quite rough, but guess voice memos aren’t the best place to keep my recordings haha

    I’m trying to improve my voice/singing and would appreciate any feedback. I’m quite a novice to singing so my experience is limited to karaoke at parties and playing the uke once in a while to songs I like.

    I’m very new to the technical aspects of singing, but I wasn’t sure on where to start and what to work on first. I’d appreciate any constructive feedback on what I did well, what I could work on, and where I struggled. Any other feedback that you think will help me is welcome.

    Please be gentle as this is my first time sharing my singing on the internet 🙏

    tks
